Gretsch Electromatic G5422T vs G5420T - Does body size matter?

A common comparison we get in store is the G5422T against the G5420T, so Conan and Ben thought they would do a video on it. Does body size matter? Do you have a favourite?

I own a 5422TG. One of the best guitars I've ever heard clean. I sometimes prefer it over my American Tele for chordal stuff

Thank you guys for diving so deeply into the Gretsch world (and thanks Ben for making me pick my guitar up once again this morning!). I was an ES335/Sheraton snob for years - until I got to play a Chet Atkins model. That deep body just felt so much more "real" in my hands. Finally I got my hands on one in the form of the G6120CMHOF 1954 Prototype units from the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. In my case, it has the T.V. Jones T'Armond Dynasonic pickups and I love the tonal image that I can create. One of these days, I will try to connect with a G5422T (in Cadillac Green, of course). But I will have to admit that the Azure Metallic is very, very gorgeous.
I started on a Sears Silvertone $69 parlor acoustic. My first electric was a 1971 SG (back when we thought that SG meant Student Guitar because of the price). My next was a 1971 Ovation Breadwinner. Since then - well, I'm an original victim of GAS!

Glad you are enjoying the videos. The Gretsch world is an interesting one that doesn't get as much 'airtime' as the Gibson and Fender world, so we thought (as much for our own discoveries) we should explore it more. That Proto You have sounds cool. From cheap to expensive, they all have a voice and are looking for the right player to help release it. Also, Bens playing always inspires me to pick the guitar up too. Conan. PM
